Each piece is a color chart created from a meticulous selection of knitted sweaters. Made from a long piece woven on the Beninese loom, this throw is composed of 5 strips of fabric assembled by hand.<\/p>\n
The sequences and rhythm of the colors play with the graphic connections and shifts in the assembly and create a vibrant fabric for versatile use.<\/p>\n
This piece is one of the first we have made and was produced in Benin in Abomey.<\/p>\n
40% Burkina Faso cotton (warp), 60% mixed fiber (weft)<\/p>\n
